Focus is on the principles underlying nursing actions, health promotion and the integration of concepts from other courses. Attendance: Attendance at all classes is strongly recommended. The faculty of the RDC Nursing Department believes that students are committed to their program and their learning. At times however, students must take time away from the required learning experiences. An absence can be viewed as a potentially serious disruption of the learning process and may make it difficult to achieve learning objectives. Students are responsible for making arrangements to cover missed classes. Lab attendance is mandatory. Lab time provides students the opportunity to learn and practice nursing skills related to scenarios and clinical practice. CLPNA Nursing Practice Standards require all nurses to practice professionally and with competence. 1 PN 235 Course Outline Fall 2014

3 Make up lab time is required to obtain experience in nursing skills/assessments and to ensure students practice with confidence and competence. A student will be given an incomplete grade until he/she has followed the lab makeup time process. Professional Conduct: The CLPNA Code of Ethics requires all nurses to conduct themselves based on the values of the profession. Professional behavior is expected to be maintained in the classroom, lab and the clinical setting at all times to optimize learning for all students. Expectations of behavior include: To arrive on time, prepared and to stay the duration of class and lab To turn cell phones off in classroom, and labs: no cell phones or other technical devices in clinical, except calculators To only use lap top computers for note taking or accessing relevant information in the classroom or lab. To listen and consider all feedback provided by faculty. To be respectful at all times with all communication with and about faculty, facility staff and co-students. This includes verbal, written and electronic forms of communication inside and outside of the classroom, lab and the clinical settings.
